Call of Duty 4, for example, seriously rocks -- although right now it's pissing me off big-time. I guess I can only blame myself: I chose the "Hardened" difficulty setting. Speaking of Forza, the March car pack is out now. Nothing in it really grabs me, but I might give it a purchase. At least I bought all those track packs finally!

It was definitely sent ground when I packed it away, at least. I was surprised how fast it was. I mean, they only got the thing last Friday, and the Xbox page says it takes up to 10 business days (i.e. two weeks) to fix. I guess my 360 died at just the right time! I'm especially surprised at the quick turnaround because of the whole Easter holiday occurring right when my 360 arrived at the repair center. I may or may not head out to Reaper's this weekend, so one way or another we might be able to have some gaming fun. Unless my brand new wireless adapter decides to be a pain. Knowing my luck, something will go wrong -- I assume nothing good when it comes to electronics. You’re probably right about the shipping.

That was damn fast! As for the shipping times, I believe the prepaid shipping label they give you with the empty box is standard ground service. But when they send the repaired (or refurbished) console back to you, they use 3-Day Select service, so it's quicker. That's if I remember right. If everything gets up and running, you might even be available for an online game this weekend. Sunday is our usual gaming day. :) I had to cancel last weekend because I was working, but this weekend I'm setting aside some game time. Awesome! That was damn fast!
